Caramelized Onion And Mushroom Stuffing Recipes

SERIOUSLY GOOD MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176° C).
• Cut bread into 1-inch cubes, spread out onto a large rimmed baking sheet, and bake, stirring every so often, until the bread is dry and hard on the outside, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the bread bakes, prepare and cook the vegetables. Chop the mushrooms into very small pieces either by hand or by using a food processor. If using a food processor (the quickest method), place half the mushrooms in the bowl of your food processor and pulse until roughly chopped into pieces the size of rice. Transfer to a bowl, and then repeat with the remaining mushrooms.
• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or deep pot over medium heat, and then add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated and they are starting to brown, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Stir in the onions, celery, garlic, sage, and thyme. Cook, stirring often, until the onions have softened and smell sweet, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper - start with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, taste, and then add from there. Stir in the maple syrup.
• Take the pot off of the heat, and then stir in the broth. Taste the mixture once more and check the seasoning. If it needs it, add a pinch more salt. Stir in the bread cubes and half of the parsley. If after the bread is well mixed into the vegetable mixture, it still looks dry, add 1/4 cup more broth or more until the bread looks moist, but stop before there is excess liquid at the bottom of the pot.
• Transfer the stuffing mixture to a lightly greased baking dish (use a deep 8-inch x 8-inch square pan, 9-inch by 13-inch dish or similar). Cover with a layer of foil, and then bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the stuffing, and bake another 10 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp on top. Serve with the remaining parsley scattered on top.

VEGETARIAN CARAMELIZED ONION & CHANTERELLE MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and butter a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Spread bread cubes on two rimmed cookie sheets and bake for about 10-12 minutes, stirring once, until they begin to turn golden brown and are fairly dry and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
• In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt butter.
• Add onions, 1 teaspoon salt and a couple grounds of fresh ground pepper. Cook on medium-low for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and well-browned (caramelized).
• Increase heat to medium and add the celery and mushrooms to the pan. Stirring frequently, saute until tender, about four minutes.
• Add sage, thyme, and parsley, and stir for another minute.
• Add a cup of the broth, gently stirring until much of the bits of onion have come off of bottom of the pan.
• Set aside and let onion and broth mixture cool to room temperature.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg.
• Stir in the onion/broth mixture and the rest of the broth.
• Add the bread, and toss to coat evenly.
• Pour into the prepared baking pan and press the top gently.
• Bake uncovered for 40 - 50 minutes or until browned and crisp on top.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes, or until soft and caramelized. Add sage and scrape into a large mixing bowl. Add the cornbread pieces, season well with salt and pepper, and give it a good toss until it's well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, cream, and stock, and pour that over the cornbread. Stir the stuffing together and stuff the cavity of the turkey. You could also spoon it into a buttered baking dish and put it in the oven along with the turkey. Bake until hot and crusty on top, about 30 minutes.
